Cho happy with 'Drop Dead Diva' diversity

Margaret Cho has revealed that she liked being able to work with other Asian-Americans on Drop Dead Diva.

Cho, who plays Teri, told Zap2It that she approved of a recent storyline in which her character's cousin faced deportation.

"When I was just a kid, when I was just born, my father was deported," she explained. "So it was something that I experienced with my family. It was interesting they did that story."

Cho continued: "It seems to me to be very true to the immigrant experience and it is timely. We're kind of coming up around the issues of what is American. Does American actually always mean white? I think it's a great conversation to have. So I'm proud of the episode. I'm really glad that we got to do it."

She added that working with other Asian-American actors was a "rare opportunity".

"In shows, it's usually just one of us," she explained. "It's very rare to have more than one Asian-American actor on anything ever. So it was this special, really rare, cool thing for us to hang out."
